Franklin, Tennessee

The 444-mile-long Natchez Trace Parkway, which cuts right through the middle of Franklin, Tennessee, is one of the most beautiful drives in the US. Find a safe place to park along the side of the road at one of the scenic overlooks before walking over the Natchez Trace Bridge, which offers postcard-worthy views of the picturesque rolling hills. Stay at The Harpeth Hotel in historic downtown Franklin, which puts you in close proximity to all of the stunning scenery.
